I am starting to suspect that all this weather lark is nothing more than media hype.
Generally speaking, I am fully aware that people have been injured and have even died.
This sort of bad weather happens every year, its weather after all.
I think the media have nothing better to talk about and get some sort of kick out of building up a crisis.
they use their power to scare and manipulate, and when it is all over and is, in general an anti climax, they shrug and say "it would have been much worse if we had not warned you"
Oh thanks, you have disrupted the whole country, scared many people witless and cost the county thousands, possibly millions, because you fancied a "perfect storm" in England, cheers......
